Official Mutant Apocalypse Arc Discussion (SERIES FINALE)
 

This will be a mega discussion thread for the three episodes (consisting of: 518 - The Wasteland Warrior, 519 - The Impossible Desert & 520 - Carmageddon!) airing tonight at 9:00pm EST on Nicktoons.

These three episodes take place 50 years in the future. Verminator Rex (based on Verminator X) will be a villain in the arc.

Trailer:

Note #1: These are airing on Nicktoons, not Nickelodeon. So if you don't get the Nicktoons channel, you may have to find another way to see these.

Note #2: Yes, "Carmageddon" is technically the series finale, even though the monster arc and crossover arc have not officially aired on television yet. Regardless, these episodes were intended as a series finale arc. Whether if you feel this arc, the crossover arc (which Nick seems to want as the finale), Owari, or End Times work as the better ending is up to you after this airs.

Damn, I was going to do this, the episode isn't airing until tonight, So I thought it was too early to do it yet.

I was going to put the trailer in and put some other things in, I had it all planned out :cry:

But anyway i'll do it here



The final is upon us, it's going to be a sad and shocking end.

Questions that need answering

How did the Apocalypse happen?
What has happened to Leo?
How did Donnie became a Robot/Cyborg?
What has happened to the Turtles friends, are they dead?
What's Mikey doing?

Will the final have a twist ending?

All these questions will be answered in the final, hopefully.

Sorry, had no clue when anybody who regularly makes these would be on. I can include whatever you had planned in my post (and I'll credit you) if you want though. :)

Machias Banshee used to do these episode discussion threads, until me and few others took over. So I think she should of done this one.

If somebody here uploads it, please PM me.

I have no way to watch this finale but I'm really looking forward to find out which way they'll be going with this. I can't wait to read the impressions/thoughts of the people who watched it.

For anyone on the west coast like me it will be on at 9pm tonight

I'm seeing 6

It will air tonight at 9pm EDT on NickToons, and then it will re-air at 12am EDT in case anyone missed it the 1st time.

I find it odd how the episodes are airing at 9 pm and then Midnight. Guess they're that intense huh?

These episodes pays homage to an R rated movie franchise, I would assume that it might be too intense for younger viewers maybe? This show did homages to R rated Horror movies before.

I always find it amusing, when kids cartoons make references to movies that were R rated, whether it be Aliens, Matrix, Robocop or Terminator.

I thought the same thing - back when they were releasing toys for Aliens, Predator, and Terminator.

So are these not on the Bebop and Rocksteady DVD?

Im confused did the bebop and rocksteady crossover thing and monster arcs never come out on tv? So these are the final episodes of the show??? This is the end? :(

Nope, but I would assume Nick will do a separate DVD for these.

According to the official TMNT Twitter, the final episodes will be the Crossover ones.

The monster arc is still airing on Nicktoons (the first two episodes air September 27th), but they are getting this out of the way now for whatever reason. Both monster and crossover arcs have been uploaded online due to DVD releases. The crossover arc will still be airing on Nicktoons as well (and also apparently Nickelodeon), which they will be treating as the "finale" instead of this. However, in production order, this was written as the end.

Does 11/12 mean 12 November.

It does, yes.

I think Nickelodeon wants to end the series on a high note, and by that, I mean having the Crossover Arc be the Final of this series.

I think it makes sense, cause ending the Final Season in the Future Arc, would be a downer.

Since Season 5 is called Tales of the TMNT, I guess anything goes as far as stories are concern, They can do stories that can go dark, and stories that are more lighthearted, and those crossover episodes are on the lighthearted department.

I guess it also stands to reason they can air them in much of any order and it doesn't make a diference time line wise... the DVD releases make no sense so...

I'm assuming the Monster arc will be on one DVD release (like the UK version) and tonights arc will be paired up with the Usagi episodes on a separate DVD release?

Yeah, since this season is called Tales of the TMNT, it allows them to go any direction, and not affect the timeline, since there are arcs on some of the episodes.

Yeah, and I can understand why they would have the crossover as the finale and makes me think this arc will be very dark and too dark to have it be the end.

I'm really nervous about the finale. I have gotten way too attached to these little guys (it will break my heart if something bad happened to Leo; just hope he didn't turn evil, or something like that).
Oh,well. Even if the finale doesn't turn out to be my cup of tea (i.e., if it really ticks me off) there is still the rest of the series to go back to and enjoy :)

I wouldn't mind Leo turning evil and then reforming in the end to take down the villain, but if he dies, I will be very heartbroken. Heck if all of them die I will be heartbroken. I don't want it to end that way!

I'm seeing commercials promoting the Mutant Apocalypse on NickToons, I noticed one of the mutants, kind of look like Salamandrians.

Just so everyone knows, it's on Nicktoons not Nick.

Really hope they don't go evil Leo (or any turtle) route. I always find that type of twist is done more for shock value than for character reasons like 99% of the time. Not saying they can't make it work but it's definitely not something I'd like to see.

Here we go!

Does any legal venue have it yet?

New mutants I seen so far, a gang of Mutant Honey Badgers.

They just showed a quick flashback of what happened to the humans on Earth, some mutagen thing blew up in the sky, and turned every humans into mutants it seems.

And I think Donnie has explained how he turned into a robot. Did I hear well and he said that his body was destroyed?

Yes he did

And part 1 is done, looks like Mikey is alive.

So, yeah, pretty blatant ripoff of Logan with Mad Max elements mixed in, but for what it is, it's a lot of fun so far. It's following the three-act system to a tee right now, which I always welcome. Raph as a huge brute (dressed like the Nightwatcher... nice touch!) and Donnie as a cyborg donning the second model of Metalhead is such a great change of pace, and the fight scenes are nice and gritty. "The Holy Chalupa" was pretty good, too. Had me going, at least. Two to go!

What a day.......What a lovely day.

a gang of mutants lizards now, some look like Iguanas.

That creature looks like Chompy grown up.

Wwwwwooooo mikey :d
